I certainly remember him from when I first began to follow the news. I am never much of one for buying the change of heart on segregation line (yes that applies to Byrd too.) I just think it tended to be a case of someone simply accepting that political battle had been lost, and moving on to other issues.

Either way, RIP.

For what it's worth, I know people can change, I am just leery of any public figure who is strongly connected to an issue who dumps it once it no longer is tenable.

Agreed. It makes it impossible to know what they really believe in, if anything.

Openly saying you no longer believe in something, and actually stopping your belief in something are totally different.

Kinda like how Jimmy the Greek never lived down his race comment.
